[Johnlightning]

2nd weekend out with my new Etrac and Im still shaking. 1850 $20 Gold. Came in at a 12-42 on the deep end of the scale. I thought I had a dime. About 12 inches down I could see the reeded edge, thought it was a half, pulled it up and thought someone painted a half gold then seen the lady liberty, She is alittle rough but Ill take her. Thanx Minelab !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John, now you went and spoiled yourself. I have been searching the elusive gold coin for 38 years and nada, YET. You give me hope. She is a beauty, heck I would look at that and not even see the scratch. WTG

Guess the plows may have got it a few times over the years. It was in a Grass pasture with horses in it now. My have been a planted field at one time. I am very lucky on this one. I know many of the club members that have hunted over 30 years and have never found a gold coin and I'm only in my 2nd year and got the big one. I do hunt every chance I get, so I have a lot of time invested in this find'. Thanx everyone. JOHN

AWESOME find - that gold coin inspires EVERYONE - the finds are out there - there is more than enough for everyone....
Pick the right place - put in the time and get lucky...

I started as a beach/water hunter with my Excal - I was happy when i found "misery" (finding someones lost jewelry)...
Now as an E-Trac owner i am searching for "history" - old coins and relics...

I have made the transition from "misery" to "history" - and i am VERY happy about that..........
